To create a pattern of iCopy results requires: These work points correspond the points selected in the iCopy Author.
To place a single iCopy result requires work points to position/size the iCopy result. The references for each drawing or presentation file are changed to point to the iCopy results. The drawing or presentation files are copied during the iCopy operation. dwg) or presentation (.ipn) files can be attached to the iCopy template using the iCopy Author. During the iCopy command, parts can be set to copy or reuse depending on the definition and purpose.ĭrawing (.idw. Each assembly (iCopy result) can vary from other iCopy results in the pattern depending on the adaptivity that was used in the iCopy template. The iCopy command creates one or multiple copies of the iCopy template and adds each copy to the target assembly. Other parts in the template assembly can include the layout, other derived parts, and other non-derived parts. Constrain any part that does not derive its position from the layout to other parts in the template assembly.Use a flush constraint to constrain each of the origin planes (XY/XY, YZ/YZ, and XZ/XZ). Constrain the origin of each part derived from the layout part to the iCopy template layout part origin.Constrain the iCopy template layout part origin to the iCopy template assembly origin.The skeleton assembly can contain derived parts that change shape and static parts that are referenced by each iCopy result.Ĭonstrain the skeleton assembly in a particular way for best results with adaptivity. Insert additional parts into the skeleton assembly.The derived geometry forms the basis for solid geometry and additional detail in the child parts. The shape/sketch geometry is derived from the layout into other part documents. Creating parts derived from a layout part is the basis of skeletal modeling. Create each additional part for the iCopy template by deriving the part from the layout part.Use adaptivity to change the skeleton model and verify that it updates as expected. Test the layout part by placing the skeleton assembly in a test assembly. Create and test the template layout part.For best results, do not fully constrain sketch geometry. Note: Fully constrained sketch geometry can cause problems with adaptivity. Each iCopy result contains the iCopy definition, so any iCopy result can be used as an iCopy template. Use the iCopy command to create one or more iCopy results.This results in an iCopy template containing the iCopy definition. Use the iCopy Author command in the assembly to enable it as an iCopy template.Create a skeleton assembly, including the template layout part containing sketch geometry, and parts derived from the skeleton template layout/shape.Create the target assembly, including the target layout part containing geometry/patterns for placing/adapting copied assemblies.The part in the target assembly that is used to position the iCopy results and define the pattern of results. This assembly must contain at least one part which is used to position the iCopy results. The assembly where the iCopy results are placed. These assembly files are copies of the iCopy template that are place and adapted in the target assembly. An iCopy Definition node is added to the browser when an assembly is authored.Īssembly files created by the iCopy command. Information entered in the iCopy Author dialog box. This part is derived into other components in the assembly to build the skeleton model. This part is selected in the iCopy Author. The adaptive part file that drives the other skeleton geometry. This file contains the iCopy definition information, the adaptive skeleton part, and the geometry that defines the model. The following terms are used in this section to define iCopy and the related components.Īn assembly file that is authored for use with the iCopy command.
